Overview

With over three decades of expertise in providing bespoke printed carrier bags for the retail and promotional sectors, Templecoombe Ltd has established a reputation for exceptional reliability and responsive service. This commitment to excellence is reflected in our high rate of client retention and long standing industry partnerships.

The company was founded to address a significant gap in the market: the lack of high quality, custom packaging available for short to medium production runs. Templecoombe Ltd pioneered accessibility in the industry by offering polythene print runs as low as 1,000 units, previously unheard of and unavailable. As the market evolved, we expanded this flexible approach to include paper and cotton materials.

Today, Templecoombe Ltd continues to grow alongside its diverse and successful client base. We proudly serve businesses of all scales, managing production volumes ranging from as few as 250 units to larger scale print runs of up to 500,000.
